With intel Arrow Lake presumingly having 8 P core and 32 e cores

Do you think intel will have a 64 core e core cpu in the future with some cores disabled due to defects.

As e core gaming is already possible

I don't work for or at Intel.

But I would be surprised if their future direction was "simply more of the same."

At some point, I would expect further differentiation between cores, e.g. not just E and P cores, but more letters of the alphabet, with different specializations per core type.

Maybe Arc moves into the main processor as A and/or G cores. Maybe an L and/or I core variant derived from E for even lower power when idle. Maybe yet more cores dialed in for bursty network traffic or sustained numerical workloads or equal-path crypto engines or who knows what.
